    cabbage patch rn replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You know, I can't really put my finger on the reason why I did not like ICU. It just wasn't an environment that I wanted to be in. This really has me questioning things. I clean my share of messes in...

    cabbage patch rn replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  7. MA's Calling Themselves Nurses?

    cabbage patch rn replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

  11. Independent Study Topic?

    cabbage patch rn replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You could always write about a topic near and dear to my heart, "risks/complications of routine induction of labor" to include an emphasis on the c-section rates

  16. Birthing classes

    cabbage patch rn replied to burger914's topic in Ob/Gyn

  17. No central monitor?

    cabbage patch rn replied to cabbage patch rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. Yes I'm talking about moms who need continuous fetal monitoring, at least that's what the doctors' orders/hospital policy state. Whenever we have a Pitocin induction...

    cabbage patch rn replied to UnchainedFever's topic in Ob/Gyn

    cabbage patch rn replied to boulergirl's topic in General Nursing

    I dealt with something similar with my last job, one of the reasons I finally got fed up and left. The thorn in my side was another RN, and everyone put up with her crap, of course she kissed our...

    cabbage patch rn replied to RNRose's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. is there any use for an LPN in ob-gyn nursing?

    cabbage patch rn replied to Snipb's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Our nursery is staffed with LPN's and they pick up the overflow with the PP moms when the RN's are busy with laboring pts. I have heard that they will no longer be hiring LPN's in our department...

    cabbage patch rn replied to CardioTrans's topic in Ob/Gyn
